Experion PKS

Experion® Process Knowledge System (PKS) integrates an advanced automation platform and innovative software applications to improve users' business performance and peace of mind. Unifying people with process, business and asset management, this distributed control system (DCS) helps process manufacturers increase profitability and productivity. It’s the only automation system that focuses on people — making the most of the knowledge they hold. By integrating disparate data across facilities, making the most of resources and people, and feeding it all into a unified automation system, users can achieve an operation that’s more proactive, efficient and responsive.

Distributed System Architecture (DSA) is a totally integrated system allowing multiple Experion Process Knowledge Systems to operate as one across multiple units, sites and facilities across the enterprise.

Honeywell has integrated Experion PMD, its automation system for controlling processes, machinery and drives (PMD), with Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS) to provide a single, comprehensive automation solution

OPC (OLE for Process Control) defines interoperability among different automation and control applications, field systems and devices, and business and office applications.

Open Protocol IntegrationHoneywell’s Experion® PKS can integrate field devices using open communication protocols such as HART, FOUNDATION Fieldbus, DeviceNet and PROFIBUS to improve system performance, process availability, safety and throughput.

Experion Console Stations can be grouped together to form a single operator workspace for process control and monitoring, event handling, alarm acknowledgement, alarm silencing and display manipulation.

The advent of packaged equipment has made third-party system integration more important than ever for distributed control systems (DCS). Experion PKS takes this to the next level with several flexible means of integrating third-party system.
